i think JAk 2,3 and JAK Racing were not so special as they tried to copy GTA and transformed a truly fun platformer to a dark gun-blazing action title, for me these 3 games should be at the bottom...also CTR could be easily take the first place as it so well made that still there is no worth competitor (even Mariokart 8)

I wish I was involved with PS back in the day. Missed so many good games. I owned PS one late into the cycle and didn't really know much of what it had to offer back then. PS2 I never owned (I know, I know), as that gen I had only gamecube (and loved it). Last gen was my first time with all of the major consoles and I just couldn't really get into the older games. They are great, but it takes a sort of nostalgic buffer to not sit there and just say "wow, wtf, im putting on a new game". Not to mention, I barley have time to play the new stuff let-alone the old. Too bad, really.

Maybe I will get some of these on PS-Now at some point.

I will say this, I have some fond memories of many PS games when playing with my cousins, such as twisted metal, crash bandicoot (all of them) and even parappa the rappa.

How can it not count!? It's a Naughty Dog game. It doesn't matter what their situation was at the time they made the game. It was a two man team at the time but they were still Naughty Dog therefore it's a Naughty Dog game. Your logic is flawed beyond belief!

Can anyone explain the appeal of the crash games to me, I really really didnt like them back in the day, I much preferred spyro and gex for crazy platformer type games. I have nothing against the games I just didnt like them and cant see why anyone does.

Personally I could not rank them since I have not played all of them. I definitely did like the Uncharted series though.

It is worth noting that if you look at the Naughty Dog Wiki you will see there are three retro games. Those being: "Keef the Thief" (Apple IIGS, Amiga, DOS), then "Rings of Power" (Sega Genesis/Megadrive) and "Way of the Warrior" (3DO - who had one of these?).

Out of which I have only played "Rings of Power" which really pushed the Sega platform (it was in 2.5D so movement was really jerky) to the point the game was almost unplayable until you used the auto move feature.

If you look at may last post I did mention "Rings of Power" which IMHO is a surprisingly interesting RPG game in that it was 2.5D which really stressed out the Sega Genesis/Megadrive at the time to the point of it being unplayable. Once you learned to use the auto move feature the game was so much more easier to play.

Remembering that the game came out in 1991 the graphics were quite amazing and you could see there was quite a good deal of attention to detail. It also had an interesting story line. Not bad for a 1MB game.

I'd feel embarrassed if Naughty Dog saw this post. Also Uncharted 2>Uncharted 3. There was nothing innovative about Uncharted 3, and it was all over the place, unlike Uncharted 2. Last of Us is the best story based game. Crash and CTR were both fun as ****.

CTR was the BEST cart game ever created, even now i think its still the best..and it was on PS1 so much limitations and they made such a greah game without even pop-ins which was usual thing on ps1 sitem cuz od lack of RAM only 2MB

See I am the same, I was playing the jrpgs , I dont like crash at all the games just where not fun to me, I really hated the running towards the screen being chased by a boulder parts. I love ND now but crash to me was not even worth putting in the play.

Yeah... my problem may be that I really enjoyed and fell in love with UC1 and Crash 1 when I played those for the first time. Therefore the sequels are "just more of the same" for me, not in a bad way, but the sequels never had the allure the originals did.

There's something about visiting a new world you love for the first time. It's great to go back and revisit them and the sequels are great, but that first time feeling, that's what wins for me.

Legitimately surprised they mentioned Naughty Dog's early games, before PlayStation. Still good games, by the way. My favorite is The Last of Us, but Crash 2, Jak III, and Uncharted 2 are all tied for second.

Jak and Daxter will always be my favorite ND games. All ND games have that special touch and charm, but in my opinion the Jak games had the super special touch that really made them unwrap themselves to who they are today and taught them how to create a great story in which keeps the player glued with incredibly likable characters. That touch of ND didn't start with U1

Jak 1 and 3 worse than Jak 2? This guy must be high, Jak 2 was a bizarre half sandbox GTA style game filled to the brim with frustrating mini games and a massive spike in Difficulty over the first game.

Did this kid really say Uncharted 2's multiplayer felt tacked on? Tomb Raider's multiplayer felt tacked on. Uncharted 2's multiplayer was an equally important aspect to the overall experience of that game. For the first few months, it was fantastic until Naughty Dog released that fated update to the multiplayer that just ruined it.

such a limited list...ND has been around since the 16-bit era and they didn't start that great... by far their worst game was Way of the Warrior on 3D0...back when Jason Rubin (original founder) was still there and their dev team consisted of like 4 people. all the characters in that game were their friends. lmao. i had that POS game. worst fighting game ever...

I've wanted a 3DO for almost 20 years just to play Way of the Warrior. That was one of my most anticipated games when it came out thanks to the first two Mortal Kombat games. They filmed the stop motion in Jason's apartment. But I have yet to get a 3DO. Back then I got a Jaguar instead. It was cheaper and more powerful.

please do yourself a favor and just forget about this awful turd :) my buddy and i were SO EXCITED when we finally got this game, esp since we were/are MK and SF fanatics, only to have our dreams CRUSHED once we started playing it. we really tried though. we printed out move lists. we played and played until we could finally get some moves and fatalities down. it was still awful. best part of the game was the CG intro and White Zombie soundtrack which at the time was amazing (to us). look up vids on youtube...it's plays even worse than it looks. look for a match w/ Dragon where he wins and you might see his awful awful celebration dance. i still have my 3D0 and a bunch of games including this one...i don't think i'll ever fire it up again. lol.

side note: that same buddy also bought a Jaguar only to have his dreams crushed again when he realized how crappy it was other than AvP. at least w 3D0 we had more than one decent game.

Loved that "Nobody's Perfect" trophy in TLoU - Left Behind when you play Jak X in the arcade. Shows ND's self awareness and that they are still down to earth very much even after getting all the praise and people saying they never fail. That was cool since the game really was mediocre and not as good as CTR.
